Last week I finished the next 3 towels after fixing the warp on my loom at the weaving guild room. There are 3 different treadlings given with the pattern instructions so this represents all of them.
Here is a closer look at the one that was offset by one thread (on the left) compared to the correct version (on the right).
I have been down at the guild room a lot this past week, weaving more of these and using different color combinations for the wefts – so all of them will be a little different. Should be able to finish up today and then, of course, there is the hemming and washing and pressing to do – but I should have more pictures coming up.
Last night there was a really fun event down at TwispWorks. Bluebird Grain Farms had its 10th anniversary celebration and organized a Farm to Table Paella Feast featuring paella made with their emmer farro as the main dish. There were about 300 people in attendance!
The paella dinner was designed by Cameron Green (she is a local chef and caterer). John Sundstrom of Lark restaurant in Seattle, one of Bluebird Grain Farms’ earliest customers, came over for the event and prepared his signature seafood paella dish. There were three huge paella pans going over wood fired outdoor cookers, plus several salads, bread, desserts, and a no-host bar featuring local beer and wine. Almost all of the food was sourced from local farmers, bakeries, coffee roasters, etc. and some of the proceeds went to support the Methow Made program (in 2013, TwispWorks started Methow Made as a collaborative marketing program to help Methow Valley food and beverage producers reach new customers).
Here are some pictures from last night’s event:
